Taisez-vous, s'il vous plait, was heard through the roar of voices as Vandana Jagannathan, president of the French Club, tried to quiet everyone down. For the past few years there has only been a French Honor Society, not an actual club. So, with the opening of a French Club eager French students were able to come together and meet other students also taking French as a foreign language. French Club gave me the opportunity to meet new peo- ple and I participated in some very rewarding experiences, Lindy To commented. One of the experiences that members enjoyed was going to the Alliance Francaise in November. They had the op- portunity to meet some Swiss people and they tasted some of the pastries and food of the French-Swiss people. They also made trips to museums and plays exhibiting the French culture. Being the co-sponsor of the club gave me the chance to do some things that I could not do with all my classes, Ms. Marcie Pampe said.

This thought ran though many girls and boys minds on Valentines Day as Utopia members delivered the traditional carnation to hundreds of students throughout the morning. The delivering of carna- tions was a traditional fun- draiser for the organization. They took orders for the car- nations during the two weeks previous to the Big Day. Trying to live up to their name, Utopia members sought to make the world an ideal place or society in which people could live together in perfect harmnony and hap- piness. As changes should always start at home the young ladies thought that making JV a better place would be a good beginning for a Utopian world. During the beginning of the year members and sponsors set goals for themselves. Some of the goals included developing and maintaining high moral standards and characterg developing leader- ship and individual respon- sibilityg encouraging all students to strive academicallyg and promoting school spirit. But most of all the members wanted to heighten black awareness and history. Written by Laura Jorden.

German music was played and the overall effect was just too strong to fight. They just had to take part in some of the fun. They went on to enjoy some of the delicious German delicacies which included sausages, sauerkraut, and pastries. After the very fulfill- ing meal they took part in some of the dancing ac- tivities. They danced the hokey pokey and the chicken dance. I had a swell time dancing like a chicken, Greg Snyder said. This was just one of the many activities that the Ger- man Club was involved in. In October they par- ticipated in the Homecoming Parade with the Red Baron float. They had a red truck and all that had to be done was to the paint the Red Baron's flag on it. In March, the club com- peted in the Texas Associa- tion of German Students at the University of AKLM.
